[Verse 1]
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby
I could use just a little help

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
These gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Verse 2]
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is
[Chorus]
Can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
These gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Bridge]
You sit around getting older
There's a joke, here somewhere and it's on me
I shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby this laugh's on me

[Verse 3]
Stay on the streets of this town
They'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look

[Chorus]
You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
These gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
[Outro]
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
